The World Economic Outlook (WEO) database contains selected
macroeconomic data series from the statistical appendix of the
World Economic Outlook report, which presents the IMF staff's
analysis and projections of economic developments at the global level, in
major country groups and in many individual countries. The WEO is
released in April and September/October each year.

Use this database to find data on national accounts, inflation,
unemployment rates, balance of payments, fiscal indicators, trade for
countries and country groups (aggregates), and
commodity prices whose data are reported by the IMF.

Data are available from 1980 to the present, and projections are
given for the next two years. Additionally, medium-term projections
are available for selected indicators. For some countries, data are
incomplete or unavailable for certain years.

Changes to the April 2015 Database

On January 1, 2015, Lithuania became the 19th country to join the euro
area. Data for Lithuania are not included in the euro area aggregates
because Eurostat has not fully released the consolidated data for the group,
but the data are included in the advanced economies and subgroups aggregated
by the WEO.

As in the October 2014 WEO, data for Syria are excluded from 2011 onward
because of the uncertain political situation.

As in the October 2014 WEO, the consumer price projections for Argentina
are excluded because of a structural break in the data. Please refer to note
6 in Table A7 for further details.

Because of the ongoing IMF program with Pakistan, the series from which
nominal exchange rate assumptions are calculated are not made public—the
nominal exchange rate is a market-sensitive issue in Pakistan.

The series from which the nominal exchange rate assumptions are
calculated are not made public for Egypt because the nominal exchange rate
is a market-sensitive issue in Egypt.
